This week's poll was difficult to tally, because the depth of the discussion didn't stay within the borders of the categories.  That's a good thing, and thanks to everyone for lending such deep discussion.

In an attempt to tally the "votes" this week, I classified the posts in four categories, in an attempt to best summarize the posts.  I'll summarize those categories below.  There were a total of 11 "votes".

1. Speak To The Audience
Total votes: 5 (45%)
This is the idea that we, as worship leaders, need to be in touch with and know the flock that we lead.  We should pick music that fits the needs and hearts of the congregation, as well as music that will speak to their hearts.

2. More Lament, Please
Total votes: 3 (27%)
These posts all agreed that we need more songs representing emotions and thoughts of lament in our worship assemblies.

3. Vertical
Total votes: 2 (18%)
More to the initial question, these posts stated the opinion that we should have more songs directed toward God than directed to each other in our worship assemblies.

4. Balance
Total votes: 1 (9%)
These posts stated the opinion that we should maintain a fair balance in our music choices.

I have always loved Christmas music.  Some of the prettiest songs ever written are Christmas songs.
